I hear the cannons that roar,
& i have faith in Allah,
I have no guns to fire with,
& i don't know how long i'm gonna live
With all these bombs coming down on my land
& not many people giving a hand
Every day i see tanks ready to kill
day by day people are becoming ill
They're gonna kill us one by one
& then they're gonna take our land
Many of us are too weak to fight
Oh Allah! give us your light
There's nothing we can do
no where we can hide
i sit here in the pouring rain
i have nothing to lose or gain
every minute is like an hour
every day is like a year
i see people lying in the street
& children in cardboard boxes trying to sleep
i very rarely eat any food
& i never hear any good news
Too many of us have died
when is someone gonna answer our cries??
i wait patiently for someone to come
someone to take me out of this slum
i want the sun to shine bright
& the rainbow to colour the sky
i want the stars to twinkle at night
& i wanna be lifted high
I want the hungry to be fed
& the orphans sleeping in a bed
i want money for the poor
& justice for us all
But most of all i want my land
I know one day we're gonna win
& i know for sure that day is coming
But there's still sometime we need to wait
& remember in Allah's hands in our fate!
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, they become destiny
